Should my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Bognor Regis.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Bognor Regis. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Bognor Regis, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Bognor Regis. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.

About to purchase a new build flat in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bognor Regis
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Bognor Regis?
Conveyancing - in Bognor Regis or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
